Ojos Tristes Lyrics in English Selena Gomez , benny blanco, The Marías

Ojos Tristes paints a tender picture of two lovers caught in the bittersweet moment where love and goodbye collide. Selena Gomez, benny blanco, and The Marías weave English and Spanish lines to show us both sides of a broken heart: first, the singer tries to comfort her partner with the “sad eyes”, asking him not to cry while she must leave; then the story flips two years later, and she is the one drowning in autumn tears, still thinking of him in every sense. The song’s gentle pop groove hides a deeper message about how love can switch roles, turning the comforter into the one who needs comforting.

At its core, the track reminds us that we all need love “como el aire,” like air itself. The “muchacho de los ojos tristes” begins as someone lonely and longing, but through kisses and grand love he finally finds a reason to smile. Even so, time proves that memories can haunt the happiest moments, showing how powerful first love can be. With its bilingual lyrics and dreamy production, Ojos Tristes becomes a heartfelt anthem for anyone who has ever said goodbye, only to realize that sadness and hope often share the same melody.
